Dedicated development team
A dedicated development team in India that works only on your product
A stable team of engineers, a tech lead and a delivery manager, run by NTech as an extension of your company. You set the roadmap and priorities. We run the team, keep it staffed and answer for delivery.
Quick answer
What is a dedicated development team?
A dedicated development team is a group of engineers, with its own tech lead and delivery manager, that a partner assembles to work only on one client's product for the long term. The client sets the roadmap and priorities; the partner runs daily work and keeps the team staffed. It suits ongoing product work where knowledge retention matters.
Definition
What is a dedicated development team?
A dedicated development team is an engagement model where a partner assembles a team that works exclusively on one client's product for the long term. Unlike staff augmentation, the team comes with its own lead and delivery manager, so your managers set direction without running daily work.
Because the same people stay on your product, they build up knowledge of your code, domain and users. That is the main advantage over rotating contractors or project-based vendors.
